First, here is what the left should esteem most: Science. Simple statement.
Now, when I listen to Alex Jones, I hear somebody who plays fast and loose with the facts. He doesn't wait for rigorous truth so he supports things that are sometimes wrong, but then he also paints in broad strokes truths which are basically accurate but CANNOT be reported in main stream media for the same reasons: they can't be rigorously confirmed.
So, what you see is somebody who is outside of the mainstream, yes, a bit to the right. But put your science first: forget the ARMY of people, the 99% of the population saying the sun revolves around the earth, (the mainstream) look through your telescope and see for yourself, do your math. You'll see that the vast majority are in the dark, as they have been throughout history on important issues. What they are in the dark on is the fact that the status quo is DOOMED. Its SCREWED. We are in SERIOUS SHIT. I mean, you should be able to see this on almost any issue... Debt...technological asymmetries leading to totalitarianism. Do you believe in man made global warming? Then look at the status quo with regards to fossil fuel consumption, look at the lack of a sane strategy to get things on track with sustainable consumption! Chomsky, a dead sane scientist, says he sees the extinction of man as a real possibility on the table due to numerous factors going on now. Can you honestly say you see a sane plan here???
Once you have seen the mathematically, scientifically verifiable INSANITY of the status quo, the next question is if you are going to grow up and stop pointing at what psychopaths have defined as the "high school losers", the "fringe" candidates (like Kucinich or Ron Paul) as such and recognize that people outside of the status quo are what we need. People who are willing to condemn it, to tear it down...And this means accepting that all your milquetoast political reasoning is reasoning is leading us exactly nowhere, its a perpetual jack off session that keeps the same elite in power year after year, getting richer in relation to the poor, taking everything from you while you run in the popularity contest hamster wheel the media has defined for you.
Honest to God, I am so fucking sick of "moderates" in all their forms. The right says: Limit government, let the rich be wealthy in keeping what they earned so they can be rich". The left says: "Let government distribute some of that wealth to the poor and needy through a tax". That's when the fucking 'moderates' in high places come in, and say "we have a compromise, we will take the tax idea from the left, and we will distribute that tax to wealthy so they can be rich, like the ideals of the right". That's the status quo, neither right nor left but screwing for all. The so called sensible moderates of the left say the compromise is as good a deal as they could get, the 50% of the country on the right is to blame, and the dumbass right say the inverse about the left, that they are to blame for the high taxes. Of course the punchline is that they are all getting raped, but they refuse to stand up for their principles enough to let it go one way or the other, or better yet the ideal compromise, where we somehow find away to cut taxes but provide for the poor.
So here's the deal. I like Ron Paul. Every time I see an attempt to humiliate him by selecting a question that will result in an impolitic answer according to his principles asked on the news, my esteem for him increases when he answers it according to his principles, as well as my REVULSION as the candidates that tell morons what they want to hear with absolutely no principles, because I know this is the system of control. The pundits are used to it, even though I know the populous will lap it up and fall deeper and deeper in this nightmare.
I am not a Libertarian, I am not a right winger, I am a socialist. Not the Strauss-Kahn kind that has billions, but the kind that has given his life to serving the poor, the elderly, the disabled knowing full well he could be making vastly more in the corporate scene by pursuing his own interests. But folks, what you have to understand is that the scene has changed, the right-left dynamic is being used as a system of control. The good guys are the ones willing to stand up for their principles right or left, and not be embarrassed or controlled by what "everybody thinks", Its about personal integrity, its about honesty. And its, above all, NOT about compromise. Remember who we are left:
